Anyone operating in the resources sector knows that the Western Australian Government’s new Work Health and Safety (WHS) laws has now come into effect as of the 31st of March 2022. The law will improve protections for the state’s workers, including those in the mining and resources sector. It will also recognise modern work
Light detection and ranging (LiDAR) survey technology presents high-resolution mapping capabilities, and when used in a geotechnical insight capacity, can provide engineers with valuable rock mass response awareness for mine infrastructures such as weak-structure mapping, and the locations of any water ingress points, and potential stress-induced damage. In 2019, MineGeoTech Senior GeotechnicalEngineer Richard Varden
